Welcome back everyone! I apologize for my first post coming in the second week of school, but man, we sure have been busy! This year is starting off strong. Last week we got our squads ready, introduced warm-up walls, and had some time for a few fun games! This week- we are getting down to business. The 1st – 5th graders have just started their first unit. I really like to start things of with what I call a basic skills review.
The basic skills unit takes all of the main “sport skills” and breaks them down. We will introduce a skill, practice it, and then put it into use in some sort of game. Here is our prospective schedule for basic skills:
Week 1: Throwing and Catching
Week 2: Kicking and punting
Week 3: Striking
Ask your student what the three keys for throwing are. Then see if they can remember the 3 keys of catching!
Kindergarten-
The kindergarten guys and girls have been taking it a little slow. It takes them a little while to get used to our PE procedures…and to remember what squad (team) they are on. Does your little one know their squad? Now that we are in week 2 we are moving on to locomotor skills- skipping, jumping, hopping, walking, galloping, sliding, and running! They are having a blast!
Thanks for all your support!!
